If involved in any scene whatsoever, food, fashion or anything involving fun, you know of the man named Jackson. A single named entity right here in Dallas. He owns the exciting company Fluent, which is an ultra Dallas concierge service, or a lifestyle management company, that brings clients closer to the things they need most. Like most of Dallas, I consider Jackson a friend. If nothing else, the man inspires us all to be the best we can be at all things.

Jackson is a true Dallas icon, and today he needs us. Jackson recently suffered a stroke leaving him paralyzed on half his body. The tone and lean Jackson will no doubt recover, but like many of us who operate our own businesses Jackson does not have health insurance and his bills are mounting by leaps and bounds daily.

This is where it gets interesting. A GoFundMe was set up which helped tremendously, but his peers and advocates, his friends, are coming together for one tremendous evening to help Jackson where he has helped so many before.

Jackson, and his partner Lisa Moore have raised untold thousands in a host of efforts to assist one cause or another. This week that cause is for Jackson.

Dozens of chefs from across the city will gather at 3015 the event center of Trinity Groves and serve up fine fare and tastings. There will also be an interactive fashion show with the stylings of Jackson as core detail. Fashion from Jackson and many other fun items will be raffled.
